Please help me out here. What was the status of the investigation of Pelosi using...

illegal workers at her vineyards? Seems as if opponents of Pelosi are throwing this around. I have googled it, but cannot find anything definitive.

Pelosi's Napa Business Scrutinized
Hypocrisy Or Conservative Hatchet Job?

Nov. 28 - KGO - Is it a blatant case of liberal hypocrisy or a hatchet job by conservative commentators? There is a story knocking around the darker forests of the Internet concerning a Napa Valley vineyard owned by soon-to-be House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who also happens to be one of the wealthiest members of Congress.

*snip*

Marc Grossman, United Farm Workers Union: "It is patently illegal for any grower to even discuss a union contract, which is the only way you can supply union workers, without the workers first having voted in a state conducted secret ballot election."

I asked Peter Schweizer, the Hoover Research fellow, if he had researched those facts before he called Pelosi a hypocrite.
Peter Schweizer: "It's really for her to explain why there is this inconsistency. It's not my responsibility to go and find out how every single particular circumstance is handled on the Pelosi vineyard."

The 1975 Agricultural Labor Relations Act is pretty clear, what Peter Schweizer suggests would be illegal. Growers like Pelosi can't just hire workers from a union, but workers can unionize on their own and then negotiate with growers after they have organized. Schweizer told me this morning he would call me back and clear this all up -- he hasn't. We've left several messages.

3. I heard about non-union workers, but not illegal workers.

*There is a story knocking around the Internet concerning a Napa Valley vineyard owned by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who also happens to be one of the wealthiest members of Congress.

Nancy Pelosi has received awards from the United Farm Workers Union. She has accepted considerable campaign financing from unions. And yet the vineyard that she and her husband own in Napa is non-union.

9. This was all on the IT recently.

A TV station in SF I believe investigated and it's a crock. First of all she is barred by law from hiring or using union workers unless the workers themselves organize. Second, her wages for her workers are higher than even the union folks in the area or something.

The TV station couldn't get anything but accustions from the Repubs involved, no proof, no meaningful answers to questions.

This was posted as a video as well on DU about a month ago.
